I usually only sign 6'0+ CBs because I think any smaller and there'll get beaten in the air. This might be true for real life but is it true in the game?
I feel like someone here will have measured whether height has any effect or not.
Found a quality cheap CB but he's 5'10, basically looking for someone to give me some comfort about signing him His Jumping Reach is 11
Jumping Reach is the only thing you should look at (along with maybe strength) if you are interested in how many aerial duels they would win.
Basically Jumping Reach has height calculated already within it, you will usually find that tall players will always have high reach as a virture of their height, however a "short" player could still have high reach, so yeah height is irrelevant in the engine itself
@Middleweight165 It depends on what level you are recruiting for. For a top side in a top 5 league? It's probably not good enough. Otherwise it depends.
In general I also don't like looking at an attribute for a player in isolation when deciding whether he is good enough or not. For example if he is 11 JR but maybe pacy with good anticipation then he's definitely worth it

I have successfully used just very tall CBs for lower league comps but not sure it would work for serious leagues. Higher leagues I would definitely used a good GS rating file like ykykyk balanced

I'm using that ratings file and he scores highly. Would you follow that more that specific attributes?

@Zeyad Thanks for the info. The question then is JR 11 too low, enough? How would I make a decision?

Pick whatever player has higher JR, thats it.
There is no other player

Ultimately use the ykykyk balanced ratings to find an better player
